Media libs love deleting old tweets. It might not be deeper than that. Makes it harder to play "show me exactly where I said that." However, some publishing platforms maintain deleted tweets in unformatted text.

Nope!

I have good news and bad news, Deadspin is back but July is not involved.

Hate to break it to you, but few care about anything in the WNBA other than Caitlin Clark. And there are no “objectively good” WNBA teams.

What I objected to last night was ESPN staying with WNBA which forced me to download, install and verify the ESPN app so I could watch the start of game 7 of Oiler / Canuck

She's never watched, just like everybody else. Now a little juice has been injected and what does she do? The predictable. I GUARANTEE she had to look up WHO the "objectively good teams" are. Also just like everybody else.

Usually her lying loathesomeness just entertains me, but this one frosts my ass. You could give this entitled bitch a million dollars and she'd whine that it was all in 20s.

It seemed to me like there was an incredible amount of turnover in teams from year to year. They just threw names into a hat and told them to play for the franchise. The Sky won the championship that one year and suddenly the are terrible again.

to be fair, way more people watch caitlin clark than hockey

i agree, she's averaging 6.5 per game thru 4 games. during the ncaa champ game half time diani turasi had a spicy" take that caitlin would struggle early in her WBNA career... she was right

She’s averaging 17ppg, which is approximately a third of the total points scored in WNBA games not featuring Caitlin Clark.

Pootons, why are you under the impression that Clark is averaging 6.5 ppg?

Yeah, I figured as such.

You shouldn't have. It was properly written but not properly read.

Great point, and very true, look up history of Elena Della Don (Sp?), she was was on the Sky a couple years ago. Supposedly the top player in league,
and the Sky traded her to another team because she wanted to be closer to home and closer to her "partner". And this league wants to be taken seriously?

in the WNBA they're not turnovers, they're reverse-relays.

It was both.

I don’t need to highlight how many interceptions a guy has thrown if I want to talk about his td passes as a counter to the idea that the QB is struggling. It’s a “wuddabout” point that doesn’t force the reader to contextualize an appropriate amount of turnovers from a ball dominant guard in ladies’ basketball.

I quoted the wrong post so I'm as bad as the guy who I took to task for misreading it.

I watched a handful of Iowa basketball games the last couple years and she always looked like a turnover machine to me. Lots of errant long passes and passes off the hands of unsuspecting teammates. She was always going to struggle in the WNBA at first. At Iowa she could do what ever she wanted whenever she wanted no questions asked. She never had to worry about being called out for horrible 35' 3-point attempts or errant full-court passes to cherry-picking teammates, or being booed for chucking up and missing so many shots. She could walk back to the sideline and know she was never going to be taken to task, they entire team and all the fans were along for the ride and was on-board with it and she was gonna get her 30 or 40 points. Now she actually has teammates that are going to expect some teamwork and coaches that are going to expect her to be part of an offense (I assume, because I am probably not going to ever watch a Indiana Fever game). On top of that every player in the league is hell-bent on making her look bad, probably including her teammates.

Well, that's her problem. Her teammates just aren't paying as much attention as she is. Much like LeBron James, she could be a fighter pilot.

This is far more analysis than I've heard of her on the Score, where they now have regular segments covering the WNBA.

How have the numbers been? I think they were up for her first game. How is the Sky doing?

I don't need help with my quotes
